Temperatures Clethra delavayiPosizione mezza ombra
Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it is exposed to solar rays during the coolest hours of the day. When the minimum temperatures are very low we can protec the more sensible brushes by covering their roots with dry leaves or straw.These plants don't like the cold weather during this time of year. If the minimum night-time temperatures are very harsh it is best to cover the the Clethra delavayi with non-woven fabric.

Care Clethra delavayi
The Clethra delavayi grows erect, developing a short stem with a small crown, usually roundish. This plant in the summer assumes a white colouring; it is large in size and can reach 5 m high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. These plants are shrubs.

Feed Clethra delavayi
To obtain a florid development it is important to remember to fertilize our shrubs periodically; in the spring let’s use a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, which will favour the development of new vegetation and of flowerings. We can intervene at the end of the winter, mixing a good dose of slow release organic fertilizer to the soil surrounding our plant. During the spring it is also possible to act periodically, with liquid or powder fertilizers, to add to the water when irrigating, every 20-25 days.

Irrigation Clethra delavayiTenere Umido
Water when the ground is dry; in case of prolonged droughts water very often, otherwise every 2-3 weeks can be enough using 1-2 buckets of water ; avoid water stagnations and excessive watering. If we decide to grow a specimen of the Clethra delavayi in a container, we should remember that it will have slightly different needs compared to a specimen grown in the ground: we should pay more attention to its water and nutritional needs and check more often for possible development of parassites.

Adversity Clethra delavayi
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Substrate Clethra delavayi
The Clethra delavayi prefers quite drained soils, with a low PH.
